"Iran is a minority in the Islamic world, since it practices Shi'ism. This state is the potential regional power. Will Washington have a political force to hold a dialogue with Iran as equals? This is the core of the problem. How will the balance be maintained between the Sunnis (al Qaeda) and Shiites? How will the Lebanese problem be resolved. These are questions that need exact answers. Under any circumstances, the Armenia-Iran relations should be apart any shocks in the region," he said.
